Damn, Elon’s company town is barely a week old and others are already introducing scrip. I knew it was going to be inevitable but this is way faster than even I anticipated.

I too once dremel’d a pc case to fit everything in. As long as your airflow is fine, you’re golden.

If there’s any justice left in this world Tesla will become the millstone around Musk’s neck as he drowns in a shallow lake.

There are already big brands offering laptops with linux in lieu of windows.

Until you name that “brain” Azatoth and everyone loses their minds.

allowing people impacted by chronic pain to re-enter the work force

You mean they’re just going to force utterly crippled and suffering people to work instead of taking some time to heal in a hospital…

Several subs have automods set to autodelete any comments referencing Lemmy or links to it, not to mention the manual deletions by mods. It’s definitely being talked about, despite these attempts.

Always did…

For real. I explicitly append “give me the actual objective truth, regardless of how you think it will make me feel” to my prompts and it still tries to somehow butter me up to be some kind of genius for asking those particular questions or whatnot. Luckily I’ve never suffered from good self esteem in my entire life, so those tricks don’t work on me :p

Precisely. We like to think of ourselves as rational but we’re the opposite. Then we rationalize things afterwards. Even being keenly aware of this doesn’t stop it in the slightest.

They could also be better.

We’ve been up against the 5Ghz thermal wall for over a decade. We can keep adding cores but we need significantly improved design (less nanometers) for these gains - and these are now running up against another wall, namely quantum tunneling which begins being a problem at around the nanometer scale.

I assume only a radically different architecture (light instead of electricity?) will be able to smash these barriers.

I keep hearing that for all new EVs you practically pay 20K for the batteries alone. No idea if that is actually cost or just extortion.

Linking to Arch is debatably a greater troll than rickrolling.

No war but class war. All struggle is class struggle. Everything else is FUD and obfuscation.

My favorite fediposter is /u/pugjesus . Strong mix of memes and actual engaging content. Also, focused on modern politics plus history. The kind of people who would’ve created the Alaxamenos graffito two thousand years ago.

My man, I’m over 40 and I have exactly 0 friends outside of my immediate family. I have an SO and child which is enough for me, but I’ve given up trying to maintain friendships outside of coworkers at work for over two decades now. I’ve never had a “best friend” in my entire life, so again, my SO fulfills that niche.

Let’s face it, in this world “acquaintances” is the best we can still hope for. No one has the time or the inclination to sacrifice anything for, well, anyone at this point.

Horrible creatures.

What crypto is right now is basically diametrically opposed to what the original creators intended.

Gotcha, thanks!
